Baby, Baby Driver

This one mainly consists of stuff you've probably already got around the house – sunglasses, headphones, white t-shirt and... a jacket that makes you look like Han Solo.

13th Doctor, Doctor Who

Blonde wig, hoodie, big jacket and you're basically done.

Archie & Veronica, Riverdale

Another relatively easy one – you can put together both Riverdale looks by buying a letterman jacket at your local second-hand clothes shop and or a black dress.

For the more imaginative of you, why not wear both at the same time and go as Veronicarchie?

The Ghost, A Ghost Story

This requires some basic craft skills, but if you've got a white bed sheet at home, simply cut out some eyeholes and go haunt your friends' house.

You get extra points for carrying a chocolate pie around with you.

Eleven, Stranger Things

Last year, if you wanted to dress as Eleven for Halloween, you had to be pretty dedicated. This year, you don't have to shave all your hair off, all you need is a curly wig, some dungarees, a grey sweater, a plaid shirt and a big grey plaid jacket. Basically dress as a lumberjack, and you're on your way.

Though you may need to explain to a lot of people who you're dressed as, because the new season of Stranger Things doesn't go up on Netflix until October 27, so your friends might not have had a chance to binge it yet.

Negan, The Walking Dead

All you need to do is pick up a leather jacket, white t-shirt, red neckerchief and baseball bat, and practice your best creepy grin.

John Wick, John Wick: Chapter 2

Get your best wedding suit out of the closet, smear some ketchup on your face, grab a couple of water pistols and bingo, you're John Wick. Extra points for bringing your dog to the Halloween party.

The Punisher, The Punisher

For this one you'll need black trousers, a black t-shirt, some white spray paint and the ability to draw a skull. If you've got access to a van-full of Nerf guns and a mate who's good with computers, all the better.

David Haller & Sydney Barrett, Legion

Now we're starting to get into the more dedicated territory. We're pretty sure David and Sydney's tracksuits were custom-made for Legion, but that shouldn't stop you from trying to find the closest possible match.

Pennywise, It: Chapter One

The film's become so popular we're pretty sure we're going to see it a thousand times on Halloween night. If you're planning on wearing it, you'll need a Victorian clown outfit, an expert make-up artist to do your face, and a red balloon that'll last all night without popping. Easy!

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman

We're now entering the stage of the feature where you'll need a bit of a budget – unless you do have a Wonder Woman costume lying around at home (which you probably don't). The good news is, pretty much every fancy dress shop will have a Wonder Woman outfit. Just make sure it comes with a lasso of truth, and you're golden.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man Homecoming

Who cares if you wore this one a couple of years ago? If the movie industry doesn't mind rebooting Spidey, why should you? If you want to keep things fresh, maybe pick up a replica Captain America shield from your friendly neighborhood comic-book store to carry around with you.

Daenerys' winter outfit, Game of Thrones

This is possibly the most difficult of them all, mainly because a) it only made its catwalk (cliffwalk?) debut this year so b) going to be probably impossible to find at a costume shop.

But if you've got the patience to braid a blonde wig and customise a fake-fur coat, it'll be worth the effort for the stirring music and rousing applause you'll get when you enter the party.

Maybe only take one of your dragons though. You don't want to accidentally lose one of them.
